INTRODUCTION :

As the title block (above) of this page mentions, the intent of this page is to help in looking for companies whose 'market value' has been growing fairly steadily in a period of 10 years or thereabout.

In investing in individual stocks over the past dozen years or so (around 2007 to 2019), I have found that a good way to make money on a stock is to

  • find a stock that has paid a decent (but not excessive) dividend over multiple years (because it is not likely to go bankrupt soon, and the company pays some attention to its stockholders)

    AND

  • check if that stock's price has been showing some steady growth over the long term (more than 5 to 10 recent years) --- while maintaining positive earnings.

A stock that pays a good dividend is not going to help you much when you go to sell it --- if its 'market value' has declined so much that it cancels out the accumulated dividends.

This is a page that provides, for various companies (and their stock market symbol), links to web pages that show a history of the company's stock price over a period of about 10 years.

    I have found a site --- www.historicalstockprice.com --- that gives an immediate 10-year chart of a stock's historical price, by simply providing the stock symbol.

    If that site changes, I may have to change the links below to some other site that provides such a 'long-term' chart --- and provides it quickly.

    Be forewarned that each page of the 'historicalstockprice.com' site includes some 'junk' ads and image-links to videos (often right-wing propaganda) that may cause the pages to load rather slowly --- in a herky-jerky web-page-changing-its-layout fashion.

    You may be able to cause the pages to load more smoothly and rapidly by blocking the hosts of some of these advertising-and-propaganda links by using some host-blocking techniques.

Main goals of this page

The main goal of this page is to help in finding companies that have shown good, steady growth in the 'market value' of their stock over a significant period of years --- preferably more than a period of 5 years.

Although growing 'market value' is often a sign that the 'book value' of the company is also growing, it would be foolish to assume that that will always hold.

The 'market value' of a stock is often inflated by 'investor euphoria' --- and the 'market value' is subject to periodic 'corrections'.

Although there will be an emphasis on this page of presenting companies whose stock price has shown 'steady growth' over a period of 10 years (or at least 5 years), some of the companies listed on this page are ones that are experiencing a 'correction'.

Format of this page

The companies will be listed down this page in alphanumeric order by 'company name'.

This page will present 4 basic items for each company:

  • Company name
    (with a link to company description --- AND several links to current financial statistics & dividend-yield info)

  • Company stock symbol
    (which will be a web link to a historical stock price chart --- to show the stock price over a 10 year period or over the life of the stock)

  • A ratio of stock price increase over a specified time interval. Example: if a $10,000 investment was valued at $31,000 10 years later, the ratio is 3.1

  • A note giving the characteristic shape of the stock-value chart, using descriptors such as

    1. 'near-exponential stock price growth'

    2. 'steady, relatively-smooth growth'

    3. 'steady but choppy growth'

    4. 'volatile growth' (meaning at least a couple of big peaks and valleys within a decade)

    5. 'initial growth, tailing downward'

    The first three of these descriptors would be my preferred candidates for an investment --- especially if they pay an annual dividend of at least 2 to 3 percent.

The "ratio"

The "ratio" of the 'end market value' to the 'begin market value' is typically specified over a 10-year period --- but may be a lesser period --- for example, if the company was spun-off from another company and has less than 10 years of stock price history.

The "ratio" will generally indicate the stock price increase WITHOUT dividend reinvestment.

Basically, these ratios are an indication of the CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) of these companies' stock value --- without dividend reinvestment.

I do not include dividend reinvestment in these ratios, because I am looking to emphasize the growth in stock price of these companies --- not the dividends of the companies.

    On the other hand, a large portion of these companies pay a dividend. That is one way the investor can be assured that the company is paying attention to their stock investors.

    I have found that almost every company stock I have owned that went worthless --- typically because the company went 'temporarily bankrupt' (shedding its common-stock holders but honoring many of its bond holders) or went totally out of business --- was not yielding a dividend.

    To help check on the current dividend paid by a company, in the list of companies below, there is a 'stats' link after the company name, by which you can access a site that gives the current dividend percent.

      The 'stats' link offers a double-check on the dividend info seen at the 'chart' link.

    The dividend percent varies as frequently as the stock price varies since it is the current dividend payout per share (usually quarterly over the past year) divided by the stock price per share, and the latter varies daily --- even from minute-to-minute or second-to-second.

    In addition to an 'almost-current' 'dividend yield' (percent), the 'stats' link may also show other handy information such as a P/E (Price-to-Earnings) ratio, a P/S (Price-to-Sales) ratio, and a 52-week high and low.

Another reason for not including dividend reinvestment in these ratios:

The investor may wish to accumulate dividends from one company to invest in another company that looks more promising at the time. So the investor may not be doing dividend reinvestment back into the company from which the dividends came.

    In that case, the investor may be looking as much for 'growth stocks' as for 'dividend-paying' stocks --- or looking MORE for 'growth stocks' than for 'dividend-paying' stocks.

    If he/she can get both (growth and dividends) in one stock, so much the better. And if one can find stocks for which their (market) growth-value outpaces their dividend-value, even better. For example, a 10 percent annual stock-value growth rate on top of a 2.5 percent dividend rate is 'devoutly to be wished'.

I prefer to look at the growth over a period of at least 5 to 10 years, in order to get an idea of which companies might be able to sustain growth (in their stock value --- not necessarily the size of their company) over a relatively long period --- at least until the next big, market-wide correction. The "ratio" is what I am using as a guide.

You can convert a "10-year-ratio" into an AVERAGE annual growth rate (AAGR) by noting that :

10yr-RatioAAGR
1.65%
2.610%
4.115%
6.220%
9.325%
13.830%
20.135%

So, for example, a stock with a "10-year-ratio" of 2.0 is 'returning' at an annual rate between 5 and 10 percent.

And a stock with a "10-year-ratio" of 3.0 is 'returning' at an annual rate between 10 and 15 percent.

A stock with a "10-year-ratio" of more than 4.1 is 'returning' at an annual rate greater than 15 percent.

Searching for 'shiny things'

Stocks that have at least doubled in market value over a decade (10-year-ratio greater than 2.0), would be stocks that might deserve preferential consideration --- as long as it does not look like the increase is due to 'recent investor euphoria'.

Of course, stocks that have at least quadrupled in market value over a decade, would really deserve some consideration.

You may wish to scan the list of companies below for those which have a 10-year-ratio greater than 4.1, say, to find companies whose AVERAGE annual market-value growth rate appears to be at least 15%.

Sort-order of the list

I was tempted to put the list in order by the "ratio", instead of in alphanumeric order by company name. But that ratio could easily change for quite a few companies --- especially if there is a 'general market correction'.

You can scan down the list to look for high 'end-to-beginning-of-period' ratios.

Other ratios :

While the emphasis on this page is on a '10-year stock price ratio', that ratio could easily reflect 'investor euphoria' rather than 'fundamentals'.

So it is a good idea to temper one's enthusiasm for a stock by looking at other ratios, such as

  • Price-to-Earnings ratio   (P/E)
    (esp. Trailing P/E, which is based on past data rather than 'forward' projected/estimated data)

  • Price-to-Sales ratio   (P/S)

  • EnterpriseValue-to-Revenue ratio   (EV/Rev)

  • EnterpriseValue-to- EBITDA ratio   (EV/EBITDA)

  • 'Operating margin' %

  • 'Net margin' or 'Profit margin' %

  • ROE (Return on Equity) %

  • a measure of the total debt (long-term or long-term-plus-short-term) of the company
    --- as given by, say, a TotalDebt-to-Revenue or a TotalDebt-to-Income RATIO
    --- where 'Income' is 'Net Income' or 'Free Cash Flow' or, if the others are not available, EBITDA

Note that these ratios and percents allow us to compare companies irrespective of whether they are large or small. In other words, we can consider both 'small-cap' and 'large-cap' companies.

In 2019, there were various sites that provided a web page showing ratios and percents like these in a more-or-less compact format and with a more-or-less speedy response.

Following are some example web links using an example of querying the stock symbol NEE.

(Warning:
Some of these sites may present annoying popups and store your browsing information in 'cookies' --- and try to 'track' you. And some may require 'registration' after accessing a few of their web pages.)

(Some of these links work no matter whether the stock symbol is presented in upper-case or lower-case.)

Another site with lots of data (in nice charts plotted against time in years) is the macrotrends.net site.

You can go to the Macrotrends Stocks Research and Analysis page and enter a stock symbol such as 'NEE' --- and get to pages such as:

Any of these 'trends' (graphs) pages can be accessed via the

    'TRENDS:   Debt/Equity   Dividend/Price   NumEmployees'

links at the individual stock links below.

    You can use any of these 'TRENDS' links to go to other useful 'trends' pages, by using the tabs (and sub-tabs) at the top of these pages.

    Example tabs & sub-tabs:

    • Prices > Stock-Price-History
    • Prices > Market-Cap
    • Revenue & Profit > Revenue
    • Revenue & Profit > Gross-Profit
    • Revenue & Profit > Net-Income
    • Revenue & Profit > Shares-Outstanding
    • Assets & Liabilities > Total-Assets
    • Assets & Liabilities > Cash-on-Hand
    • Assets & Liabilities > Long-Term-Debt
    • Assets & Liabilities > Total-Liabilities
    • Margins > Profit-Margins (incl. Gross, Operating, & Net)
    • Price Ratios > PE-Ratio
    • Price Ratios > P/S-Ratio
    • Price Ratios > Price/Book-Ratio
    • Other Ratios > Return-on-Tangible-Equity
    • Other Ratios > ROI (and ROE and ROA)
    • Other Metrics > Dividend-Yield-History

The site 'macrotrends.net' also has a nice stock screener.

The target of the 'stats' link (and alternative 'stats2', 'stats3' 'stats4' and 'stats5' links), in the list of stocks below, may be chosen from the 'financial statistics' pages above --- with hopes of providing pages that display quickly and compactly.

    However, in future years, as these sites revise the way their web pages are presented, the content, format, and speed of access may change.

If you want to dig more deeply into publicly available company data, the site docoh.com provides SEC filings (such as 10-K annual reports and proxy statements, which include executive compensation data) in convenient lists of links to relevant documents.

    (It is easier to find the annual reports and proxy statements, for specific years, on the 'docoh.com' site than on the 'sec.gov' site.)

Here is a link to a Fundamental Analysis Using YahooFinance web page that provides a relatively compact overview and explanation of the ratios and statistics mentioned above.

The nature of these companies :

The following companies are, for the most part, companies that are likely to preserve an investment.

This should be especially appealing to retirees who are trying to preserve their savings during their retirement years --- yet try to get some appreciation in their savings to counteract the effects of inflation.

This list of more than 800 companies provides data by which to build a quite diversified --- and relatively safe --- portfolio.

    Some of these companies are foreign (non-U.S.) companies whose stock is available in the United States via an ADR (American Depositary Receipt). The string '(ADR)' below denotes some of those companies.

At least 50 more companies (that show 'steady growth' in 'market value' of their stock in a decade) could be added to this list.

Some companies may be added in future months.

    In 2019, there were more than 6,000 stocks available in various stock markets. This page tends to list stocks that seem to provide better appreciation in market value --- at least in the time periods reported here.

    In other words, stocks that showed flat or negative stock price growth in a 10-year period (that was queried) are rarely shown on this page.

    Note that in a decade in which there is a major 'market correction', the 'ratios' reported here may be turned upside down.

For more info on each company :

Some more information on these companies may be available at their web sites --- and their 10-K reports may be available at the SEC web site at sec.gov, where SEC = Securities and Exchange Commission.

The site docoh.com provides SEC filings (such as 10-K annual reports and proxy statements, which include executive compensation data) in convenient lists of links to relevant documents.

You can do various web searches on various companies to get further information --- for example, on their dividends and dividend-paying history.

For example, using 'Alliant Energy' as a sample company, here are some example queries.

Additionally, you can get further information on many companies at Wikipedia --- for example, Alliant Energy (Wikipedia link).

You can use these WEB SEARCH and Wikipedia links, and change the company name (and other keywords) for info on other companies.

Alternative 'stock price history chart' sites :

These market-value-growth-ratio-over-10-years figures came from the www.historicalstockprice.com web site.

Following are some other sites that may offer 'stock price history' charts --- but most of these may require some extra steps to bring up a 'long-term' chart --- and some are slow to load --- and some are not formatted very nicely for some computer screens (like smart phones).
